What's the difference??

In this picture I was about 15...15 years young
In this picture I was about 16...16 years youngAnd today, I am 31 years old.
Today was one of those days where I felt old...like I had barely any memories or remembrance of who that 15 & 16 year old girl was. Do we all have days where we try to remember who we were once upon a time? Before marriage, kids, jobs, demands? When our parents told us to enjoy our youth is there any way that we could fully understand the meaning of those words? I doubt it, because I was a pretty level headed teenager and I still had no clue as to what lay ahead...
This post isn't to say that I am not completely in love with my life right now...and all the many blessings bestowed here for me...I think it's only that today I struggled to remember what on earth I was thinking when I look into the eyes of these teenage pictures.
I think, I was oblivious to how magnificent my life would become ;-)
p.s. thank GOD I did something with those eyebrows!!!!!!!

You look better than ever! I too have been feeling old lately. my b-day is just around the corner too. maybe we should go get some drinks and celebrate our days and mommy-hood.

Happy Birthday!
